Our 15-day West Coast holiday has been a wonderful and warm experience. I’ll have more, eventually, from this sun-washed journey.  Until then, here are some scenes, from the nearly 1000 photos taken, from the past 2 weeks.

Quickie Visitors Guide to Holidays Shows in Atlantic City

We were just in A.C. for a college basketball tournament, to cheer on my MSU Spartans.  While in the East Coast gambling mecca, we hit a couple of the well-promoted family holiday events.  Here’s my quick take on what we saw: The Tropicana indoor snowfall (every 15 minutes) was underwhelming, […]

Dala Live at the Newport Folk Festival 2009

Dala kinda blew me away with their humor, class, harmonies and, last but certainly not least, their songwriting chops. Next to Langhorne Slim’s opening set on Saturday, Dala’s Sunday brunch show was the highlight of the entire Festival for me and my family. NPR captured the whole thing, listen to […]

Jiggle Jam Road Trip Day 1 Recap

We’ve made it to Cincinnati. That’s roughly 550 miles and 9 hours in the books.A good day. As good as a day that started at 1:45 A.M. could possibly be I guess. The girls awoke as we scooped them up from a comfy slumber, stayed alert and, knee-slappingly funny, for […]
